thepresho. 8- t arolin concorri lg the mtrt fReretareL veprt having e na ed o t conferees on the Imeat inspectior bill a fe'w days age,' by the spinker of the lbouse, over the heads of the two ranking Democrats, he was seen to day and asked for a statemenit. He said: "The report does me an, in justice, in that it proeeds upon the assumption thiatl was the only Demo crat on the commnittee wvho voted with the Republicans to have the govern ment pay the cost of meat inspection. The truth of the matter is that there was absolutely no partisan lines drawn in the committee on this pro position. Three Democrats voted with four Republicans against the proposi tion, and three Democrats voted with eight Republicans for the proposition: thus it is seen, that the Democrats on the committee w oere eqully divid ed, three votin~g one way and' three the iotler, while the Republicans, though not equally divided, were bad ly divided. As between the Demo crats, there was no disagreement ex cejnt upon the, p)roposition as to who should pay the cost of inspection. As for myself, I joined with Mr. Bowie, of Alabama, in leading the. fight'in the committee against -both the court review elause and the civil service clause, and I announced in the com mittee, accoring to the custom, that I reserved the right to vote a ainst these propoti,.o.s in the opeu bi nIsl and every statement I have mede can be verified by the record of the committee. To put me ia the attitude of being the lon Democrat who join ed with the Republicans, and presum able all the Republicans on this pro position, is not only a glaring mis statement of facts, but a gross in justice to me, though I impute no in tention to the press to do me an in j1ustice. ''The announcement of the speaker of my apointment on the conference committee came to i as a great sur prise. I did not anticinate it, and my first impulse was to rise from my seate and announce from the floor my refusal to serve upon it under the circumstances. I thought it due the chairman of the committee, however, as a matter of courtesy that I should notify him of my intention to refuse to accept the appointment, and I re garded it as matter of right that I should also consult with tie emo crats who were supporting me on this p)roposi tion, be fore aninounemng my in tentionis. And besides, T did noti care to play the grand stand act and ap peal for thme applause of the galleries. As soon as I had (dischmarged my duty to the chairman of the committee, and to. my Democratic colleagues, I suwent to the speaker and told hii that I would not under the circumstances serve on the conference committ'ee. I told him that. Mr. Lamb was the ranking Democrat on the committee anid that he was in sympathy with the bill, with ie exception as to whcao should pay the cost of insection, and as a matter of precedent he should have thme appointment on thme coim mittee. Captain Lamb is an old Con federate soldier, a knightly gentleman, -a patirotic legislator, and a warm personaul friend of mine. I told the speaker thuis, and assured him that I would not he the medium through 'which, my friend was, to be slapped in. the face. rye sp)eaker congratu lated me upon the magnanimity of -my posit ion, and later in the (lay on page 9011 of tihe record, said, 'the chair announces as conferees on the agricultural approp)riation b)ill Mr. Waswor*th, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Lamb), The chair will slate that the gentle man from South, Carolina (Mr. Lever) came to thue abair and requested to be excused from service on the con ferenee committee.'' I not only re quested to be excused, but I told the speaker that I absolutely refused to serve on thme conference,. committee iuder the circumstances. ''As to my vote upon the propos,i tion of the government paying thme cost of inspection, I have no apology I do not believe that it is the pr'ovince of aily government to enact legisla tioni and then :require some special in terest to. pay for the enforcement of that legislation~ I believe that it is * sound governmnent policy,'and for that' position I have as high authority as the distinguished, mipofIty. leader, who annoflnOed practically- th'e. same derine in lmIa speech'oni the quaratine bill. I felt, also, and the tgstimbuny of every witness' ho "amle befor~e the enrimittee.wMas' o thatneffect, Avithi the exception efy the representatige of t1y phokers, that In the ena%theattle rmid'e nd the' eoisiimed of beef t h0oost of the' idotigli; 'buit fom,w ,tie 9 os thy' afeein v.~ . (4i 4 the itiepebf on fn.S - .: 0t0r beor yee committee soane time ago, says that the packers vonld shift the cost upon the .consumer and I?roducer; and the presi-ent himself was in fav~ ofoS the packers paying for the inspection only because lie feared that congress would not appropriate an adequate sum for a -thorough execu tion of the, law. The representatives of the cattle growers protested that they would have to bear tihe bulk of the fee, even if it put upon the pack er's, and those of us who believe in the doctrine that the consumer pays the tax, could hardly take any other Position than that the governent ought to pay inspection outright in the beginning, without equivocation, or beating the devil arQund the stump. I believe .in the direct way of doing business, and I believe that the tax bearer of the pountry is entitled to know just how his money is being spent, and if every tap bearer in this country who is now :suffering under tariff robbery could know just how much he is paying in, the way of tax, there would be a political revolution in the country in less than twenty four hours. "Mr. Williams' protest to the speaker was based entirely upon .the poet that his appointment of the'con fores was a violation of -the preced ents, and he immediately came to me and thoroughly explained his posi tion, and. it was entirely satisfactory to me, for, as I said, it was my inten tion fromn the moment the speaker called my name to refuse to serve on the committee. This is the whole truth, and is susceptible for verifi cation by the records." ,OGd Bullion's Arrogance. Columbia Herald. ''Benton was a most remarkable man,'' said the late Col. Switzler. ''In some respects the most remarkable I have ever known, but he could not be a career at this time. The pople would not tolerate him. He would impre-ss even a stranger by his amp pearance. He walked as if he owned the earth. With head raised at an an ile of 45 degrees .and hands.hehind his hack he would stalk with measured tiead down the stret, looking.neither to the right nor to the left, recog nmzing no one. 'If he had an annointmient to speak at 2 o'clock, promptly at 2 o'clock le would arrive. He would come in his carriage unattended. He would per mit no one to int rod,uce him. But passing through the crowd, he would make his way to the rostrum and be in, 'Citizens.' Never did lie say 'Fellow ceitizens.' Those before him were no fellows of his. And wh'len lhe had concluded he would make his wmay back to the hotel, without per'soni ally addressing a soul in his audience. No one dared -intearuit him in his speech. i r'efusd to recognize the right of any constituent to ask him how lie stood on any subject. LAURENS CASE. May Hang fire a Year, in Meantime Dispensaries will Remain Open. Ml%uchi interest has b)een mani fested. in the outcome of the ltaurens dis pensary ease. The indications are that the decision of Judge Hydiek, which had the effect of holding the dispensaries there open, will stand fori six months at least, and probably for a year if not for all, time. That -is the .view expressed by Attorney Welch. The ' anti-dispensary people have so far shon no disposi tion to appeal the case, though attor ney .gener'al 's office has taken the pr1ecaution to secure until next Sept ember in which to perfect an appleal in ease it is decided within 'that time to take the matter up to the higher cour't.' Otherwise. the appeal g'ould have gone by default. The case can not he presented to the supreme court until the November ternm nowv, and as the cir'enit embracing Laurens will not be reached for several weeks af ter' the court convenes it is not thought this case can be 'gued before Janu ary. .The supreme court tlhen may im mediately reniler its decision, and then again it may wait sever'al months to decide, as it does in the ordinary run of cases.
